Dennis & the Ten~Ten Rule

Dennis spends yet another week spending quality time with Eddy. Dennis thinks Eddy is kind of fun to watch for ten minutes! Things are going very well!





Dennis screams "Agghhh! My ten minutes are up, it's Ched's turn to watch Eddy!"




Dennis says the next day was better, as Eddy has calmed down quite a bit. Dennis says "He's mellowing out, respecting his elders and all that."






Dennis screams "He bit my tail!" But the Ten~Ten rules seem to be working, Ten minutes for Dennis is plenty of quality time. (Ched sighs... in ten hours, Dennis will help out again.)

Does Dennis ever bite back?

[I just noticed the NOTE TO HUMANS on the refrigerator. What does it say, Dennis?]

Daisy said...

Dennis, maybe you can work on building up your tolerance level?

It is so cute to see a whole family of tuxedo-clad Mancats. Or, in Eddy's case, BabyBoycat.

Dennis never bites back, but Eddy is still young. If he's still biting in a few weeks, he may be asking to get bit back.

Laila and Minchie think raising a kitten is just too much work. You are doing a great job Dennis!

The three of you and the basket are all so Feng Shui I thought a quote from Confucius was in order.

Listen up, Edward: "A youth, when at home, should be filial, and, abroad, respectful to his elders."

Let me get this straight... Dennis gets ten mimutes to play with Eddy, and Ched gets ten HOURS?
Isn't that a little weeny bit lopsided?

Ched had a bit of a nervous breakdown today. I wonder why. Oh well, not my problem.

Aren't big brothers' tails meant to be nommed on?

Lots of testostcatone going on, so I think you're all managing brilliantly!

Oh poor Ched, I think he is getting taken advantage of. I hope he gets paid well.

Dear Dennis, you are such a sweetie.
And you are such a good teacher. You learnt to me plenty words. Hmm in fact, one important word : "mellow". How may it be possible having a nice life without knowing this word ?

First you was not able to choose which picture was the most beautiful, then you said the one with people. I can understand why : you like mellow and warm knees !
You even came on my garden blog, you said you’ld have been the first to go. In that time, cats were very busy they had the job to hunt rats. Maybe you’ld be in the Donner Party.
However, I believe you’ld be the first one being eaten, before the horses, or the dogs, poor darling.

I'm happy to notice that Chedwick is a good help for you : being aware ten minutes is such difficult !

Ten minutes can feel as long as ten hours!

Jules said...

Oh dear, raising a kitten is very hard work. You are doing a great job Dennis!

Shaggy and Scout said...

Stick with it Dennis! Eddie will be all grown up and on his own before you know it!

Pamela Terry and Edward said...

Edward is not certain, but he thinks he might consider being a friend to Dennis.

I wish Smokey could have a play day with you all! Smokey could help wear out Eddy a bit.

Unknown said...

Reading about the kitties is so great!

Unknown said...

Yes, enjoy Eddy while you can.

Zippy, Sadie, Speedy and M'Gee said...

Raising a kitten is very hard, and tiring, but rewarding too. Sadie thinks Dennis is a good dad (handsome too). Zippy sez Ched should be the one biting Dennis tail, after all, Dennis adopted Eddie and now he's stuck with the kitten.

Mortina said...

Are you going to start losing your temper now Dennis? Eddie is just a baby, dont forget!

dennis said...

Dennis is fed up with this 'be nice to the kitten' crap.
